I do not speak or understand firefox program. So explaining why I continually have to fight with this program is ridiculous if you don't speak and use the language I USE AS A CUSTOMER in simple terms. I should not have to access upper people and pay money to configure my computer I paid money for already and Firesux continually ruins. I need simple terms to stop my pages from jumping behind what ever that stupid thing is that hides them. I hate that I lose so much passwords and simple processes after every gd update or whim of the programMers. This is wasting time I do not have. AGAIN!

GMAIL perceptibly slow on web interface thru FIrefox v135

BUT, (and there is always a BIG butt),

on Opera Air116.0.5366.82 (arm64) it works fine.

Have cleared cache and restarted cold several times.

Frustrated.

For some time now, whenever I would try to download any kind of file from the web, it wouldn't do anything and it would just show a .part file in the downloads folder. The same type of file (i.e. jpg) would be able to be downloaded from certain sites but not from others.

At one point I though it might be an OS problem, but the issue wouldn't be replicated in other browsers (Chrome/Safari)

Recently, I tried once more fixing this and by disabling the "Always ask where to save" I was able to download anything from anywhere again, but only to the downloads folder.

System: Mac Studio / Apple M2 ultra chip / macOS 14.6.1

My firefox on this PC is acting odd. It does not open all my links that I expect to open. Some YouTube videos won't start, just go to black. And often sign-in links on approved pages do not work. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling but nothing changes.

I'm using Firefox on Windows 10.

For a long time I've been experiencing freezing in downloads of all sorts of files sizes and different hosts. I start the download, sometimes they finish normally (if smaller sizes) but most of the time they freezes at random percentage and I have to restart from the start.

For downloading larger files are a pain, to have wait and need to keep restart if it freezes.

When I'm using others browser, such as LibreWolf and Zen Browser (forks of Firefox), it doesn't happen and all downloads work flawless.

My original thread got archived so I'm displaying it again here for reference and so that I can post the fact that I am happy to report that the developers have now corrected this issue as of the latest 135 release. Here are the basics of the previous posts minus the screenshots:

• • • Blue progress bar no longer showing after clicking on download icon in Firefox ***

Some months ago, Firefox stopped displaying the blue progress bars that would normally show once you clicked on the download icon. You still see the usual file info but now the progress bar of the download is gray instead of blue and is extremely hard to see. But if you click on the "show all downloads" link, then the blue progress bar will show as usual for any in-progress downloads in the Library window, as shown in the second screenshot.

It isn't a huge issue but is still annoying when you just want to quickly see the progress of downloads in Firefox. I haven't changed any of the colors in Firefox or in Windows for that matter, I'm currently running Windows 10. All other dialog boxes, windows, etc. all display normally on my system. Just curious if anyone else is having this problem and hopefully a future update can take care of it.

Thanks very much!

I'm still seeing a good color contrast on both the system theme and dark theme (with a smaller file, though). It looks like gray is used when the download is paused (third part of screenshot attached).

Your screenshot doesn't say that the download is paused, but I wonder whether the gray indicates that it is stalled, i.e., not proceeding? On the other hand, if the Ctrl+J Show All Downloads list has the blue bar, then maybe that's not intentional. I think someone will need to dig into the mismatch further.

Start Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration or if userChrome.css/userContent.css is causing the problem.

   Switch to the Default System theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Themes
   do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Troubleshoot Mode start window

Thanks for the replies. The download was not paused in the first screenshot, it was progressing normally. And I started Firefox in Troubleshoot mode and that made no difference, still have the gray download progress bar instead of blue.

As I mentioned above, this issue has finally been fixed. It may have taken them nine months but at least they got the job done. :-)

Hi, for the past couple of weeks firefox is causing the GPU to block firefox when trying to play a youtube short preview by hovering over the short. The screen goes white and then returns and it happens again if you leave the cursor over the short. After a few of these, the message comes up that the GPU (nvidia in this case) acceleration has blocked access to firefox. This will happen every time. The issue doesn't occur in chrome. The issue doesn't occur if firefox is started in troubleshoot mode. If I run in regular mode and manually disable my one extension (keeper) and the two plugins - widevine codec and cisco openh264 codec, the issue will still occur. I have no other add-ins. I have updated firefox and the nvidia drivers to the most current. The gpu is nvidia geforce 940mx with intel hd graphics 620. I am running 64bit windows 10 home on an hp envy laptop with i7 chip. Any ideas? Thanks.

Hello,

I have a local Linux-Firefox installation in /home/user/bin/ and set it for me to be notified, when updates are available (see screenshot). But this never happens. Or where would this notification even show up?

Hello,

I Created a few weeks ago a custom theme for my own personal use (Not uploaded to WEB). I exported it from Firefox myself and fully tested that it could be loaded as is custom when I create something. Unfortunately I had a system crash and have had to reinstall software & apps including FireFox. I am using exactly the same version of firefox as before and all the same identical plug-ins. I know on some ocassions issues can be caused with different versions of the same software. There for I have made completly sure that I have installed all same versions as before.

I always get error when trying to load my theme. I know the file is not corrupted as I mentioned I had tested it.

The error that is displayed is as follow.

about:addons This add-on could not be installed because it appears to be corrupt.

As I mentioned above I know the file is not corrupt. Can someone please help as I would like to do this locally not via the WEB or Firefox addon's site.
